The entrance to the Élysée Palace

The Élysée Palace (Palais de l'Élysée, located 55, rue du faubourg Saint-Honoré, 75008 Paris, not far from the Champs-Élysées), is the official residence of the President of the French Republic, where the president's office is located, and the Council of Ministers meets.

Important foreign visitors are hosted at the nearby Hôtel de Marigny (not a hotel in the English sense, but a palatial residence). The Élysee has large gardens, in which the president hosts a party on the afternoon of Bastille Day. Current resident and president is Nicolas Sarkozy.
